The Mad Magus [LitRPG, Dark Fantasy, Progression]

Lucian Verdan, a man of logic, precision and ambition — a scientist whose brilliance was matched only by his detatchement from morality. But when his life is cut dramatically short, he finds not a state of non-existence like his scientific mind would lead him to believe, but in a world that he does not recognise: a medieval society of knights, ancient traditions, and an unsettling new body. As he navigates this unfamiliar body and world, Lucian quickly realises that his past life's expertise is of little use here, as the laws of physics, chemisty, maths — everything seemed slightly altered and different than he remembered them to be in his previous world — or so it appears. He is first led to believe that this world was just like his previous, only set far back into the past than he'd have liked. But he quickly learns that things are not as they seem... The line between science and fantasy seemed to be blurred in this world, as he finds out many concepts which were only considered topics of fiction in his previous world were very real in this one. Magic is real, the laws of reality are different, and he had no care for morals and ethics. It almost seemed like this world was tailored for a scientist like Lucian to come knocking at all its secrets. Update schedule: 3 chapters per week
